Guest shadetree77 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 This may have been on here before but I find it fascinating and wanted to share it. It's a video I found on youtube of "Wild Bill" Hines AKA "The Leadslinger" demonstrating how to lead a car. I think it was done in George Barris' shop as he's standing there blathering on like old George likes to do. Check out Bill lighting his ever-present cigar with the torch at 8:20.:cool: I WILL learn how to do this one day. Leading kits are available and I can't wait to give it a go. Enjoy!<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jQ_85fp1avs" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="420"></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mochet Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Thanks; a classic. Nice to know you can use mercury flux, lead filler, smoke cigars and keep working for 70 years! Here's a fun visit to his shop a few years back from the HAMB.Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the old time bodymen of his age, died forty years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
